What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up her sleeves to fix it. Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (wide at 4.0°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

    For a birth before 10:18 a.m., her Moon was in Leo.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Her taste and her appetite for more needed adjusting: she kept learning what was enough.

    Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. She thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. She worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure. Concentrated force: when she wanted something, she went after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 1.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her drive, her imagination and her intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew her attention first. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
